The Iowa State Constitution provides the most comprehensive analysis of Iowa's constitutional history and the development of its individual provisions. Todd E. Pettys presents a completely revised second edition with an extensive overview of Iowa's constitutional historical origin and evolution, while discussing cases of importance.

Also included is a new bibliographic essay, table of cases, and a general index, offering significant resources for further study. Accounts of judicial rulings are current through to June 30, 2017, and the author provides frequent updates on his webpage.

The Oxford Commentaries on the State Constitutions of the United States is an important series that reflects a renewed international interest in constitutional history and provides expert insight into each of the 50 state constitutions. Each volume in this innovative series contains a historical overview of the state's constitutional development, a section-by-section analysis of its current constitution, and a comprehensive guide to further research.

Under the expert editorship of Lawrence Friedman, Professor of Law at New England Law - Boston, this series provides essential reference tools for understanding state constitutional law. Books in the series can be purchased individually or as part of a complete set, giving readers unmatched access to these important political documents.

Industry Reviews

"The book will be a terrific resource for lawyers interested in tracing the origin, development, and interpretation of each of Iowa's constitutional provisions, but it deserves a broader readership from scholars and citizens who are interested in tracing Iowaâs political and legal development. Historians will benefit in particular from the close attention to debates and proceedings in Iowa's three mid-nineteenth-century conventions. Students of Iowa government and politics will also come away from this carefully researched and well-written book with answers to numerous questions about the origins of institutions, rules, and processes that play a key role in how Iowa is governed." -- John Dinan, Iowa State Historical Society's Annals of Iowa
